Sale-Day Jottings--And Other Sorts.
Sale-day was like a light and airy
bridge spanning a fearful abyss. We
mean as regards the weather. It was as
bright, balmyband sunshiny a day as one
could well wish to see. While the Sun
day before it-in fact the whole month
was implacably fierce, cold and leaden.
And, to the utter surprise and horror,of
everybody, to-day (Tuesday) is again ab
solutely fearful-cold, dark, and the rain
pouring down in such torrents as we
have seldom beheld-with thunder and
lightning that would befit August What
is to become of us ? Some of us were
going to hie away to the happy land of |
Augusta this afternoon, to attend the
grand masquerade ball and the splendid
Theodore Thomas concert, but as matters
now stand it would be worth one's life to
attempt to get three miles from town
either by land or by water. We are in a
peck of trouble in cons?quence, for we
have been panting for this Concert "as
the hart for the water-brooks."
But back to sale-day! The warm sun
and blue sky brought out a large crowd
of our fellow-citizens from the country.
Everybody Telt thawed, friendly and ge
nial. Itwasa lively day. The sunshine set
people ter chatting about planting-about
cotton, corn, guano, and all that. Evi
dently the design on all sides is to plant
very largely of cotton. Look sharp,
friends, or the present price of the staple
will delude you into folly.
Tho Sheriff sold some well-timbered
land in the neighborhood of G rani te ville
for a mero song. For instance, a tr?fet of j
205 acres, for $465 ; another of 104 acres,
for $65; and still another at even lower
figures: And then* Capt. B. M. Talbert
sold notes belonging to some estate, toe
purchasers buying fortunes for only a
few cents. But this was not tho only
speculation of the day. There was the
great
IMPARTIAL INDICATOR OR WHIRLIGIG
MAN.
His name is Dr. Powell, one of the origi
nal jjpS F. follows, and he is a right
pleasant Bohemian-one who pays his
printing bills, and puts his modus oper
andi fairly and squarely before tho eyes
of the public. His speciality is Soap.'
In the centre of a circular table is fixed
a steel "Indicator" turning upon a pivot.
A round the margin of the table, thick and
carefully numbered, lie the prizes. They
range from a half dime, through rings,
and spoons and knives, and trinkets and
silver cups, up to gold watches. The
Soap lies in neat cakes here, there, and
all around. The Soap works stupendous
miracles both upon the outer and inner
man. Ton buy a cake of Soap, for which
you "nay always fl, and this entitles yon
to- a cum of the " Indicator," and the
possession of the prize to which it points
when it ceases to turn. You must ran
something. Sometimes you win a gold
watch, but oftener you get back only 10
or 25 ct*, upon your dollar. Neverthe
less, your chance is as fair as any man's.
" You pays your money and you takes
your choice." And then the Doctor is
witty and sonorous His tongue wags
tumultuously all the time, and screams
of laughter reward his sallies. On Mon
day last he did a good business in Edge
field. Our colored friends venerate him.
They follow him fanatically, and their
eyes pop out of their heads by dozens
when the "Indicator" stops at an impor
tant prize. And after dinner, when gen
ero os wine had made many of us feel
loose and fellowish, we white people also
took to following after Soap. Wno shall
ever forget the deafening shrieks when
our friend, Jerry Gardner, won the gold
watch ? We will not say that Dr. Pow
ell is a just mart made perfect,-although
we take him to be a clever gentleman
but if people "will be improvident with
their money it is certainly not his look
out V?vela bagatelle/
And more exhilarating even (to us)
than Dr, Powell's lottery scheme, was
the honor done on this day to the Adver
tiser. Just imagine our getting, besides
a number of individual subscriptions,
two clubs of subscribers, each number
ing twenty members ! We have every
right t?'?eel proud-and to be a little
talky. And apropos of this club plan,
it is an admirable one-lucrative to us,
and cheaper for&ubecribers.
A langhablg: incident of the day was
the arrival of Chancellor Carroll and
Judge John E. Bacon on the public square
seated-?n a rlank across an open wagon
body>-vacb hugging a carpet-bag-the
whole :conceni drawn by two mules.
Before the war, these two elegant and
punctilious 'legal gentlemen scarcely|
imagined that they would ever travel in
thissprimitive style.
And our old friend, Dr. Clint. Tomp
kins, grown big and burly with ease,
prosperity and good living, was also here,
and he told us tbare was to be a big wed
ding on Stevens' Creek soon, and that he
would certainly have us up to it-a prom
ise which we design keeping green in his
memory.

Sinking Slowly.
Diseases that progress rapidly to a
crisis are not the only ones to be dread
ed. Canker or dry rot does not blast a
tree as suddenly as a stroke of lightning,
but unless arrested it destroys it as cer
tainly; and in Uko manner chronic de
bility, although it does not kill with the
swiftness of yellow fevar, is as sure to
sap the springs of Ufe eventually as any
acute disease, if not checked by invigo
rating medication. There is something
inexpressibly touching in the spectacle of
premature decay. Languor, paUor, ema
ciation, depression of spirits, and a.dis
taste for exertion, aroit3 ordinary symp
toms, and they should be promptly met
by tonic treatment. The best invigorant
and exhilarant that can bo. administered
in a case of this kind is Hosteler's Stom
ach Bitters. The stimulating principle
of tho preparation rouses tho dormant
energies ot the system, and thestrength
ening and regulating properties give a
permanent and healthful impulse to tho
vital forces thus brought into play. The
failing appetite is re-awakenea, the pro
cess of digestion and assimilation are
quickened, the quality of the blood is
improved, the secretions become more
natural, and every organ that con tributas
to the nourishment of the body under
goes salutary chango. By these means
the repair of the physical structure is ef
fected and its health and vigor restored.
In no class of diseases has tho beneficent
operation of the Bitters been more mark
ed and striking than in those character
ized by general debility and nervous
prostration. Ladies affected with these
ailments find ih this most wholesome of
all tonics and correctives tho safest and
surest means of relief. It is strong to
restore and powerless to injnre. Such is
the uniform testimony of " clouds of wit
nesses."

two Season? v/iili the ibllowing results :
lt increases the crop from 100 to 2u0 per cent.
It resists drought in all cases. The crop ?8 not affected by rust.
It matures the wop three to four weeks in advance, thus insuring the
crop against early frosts, or in the event of a backward season for planting
enables the planter to put in bis crop ihree or four weeks later, even as late
'as the 1st June, with a certainty of success. .
lt produces a better qua i ty ol' Cotton.
Looking ut the low price of Cotton, ihe iure lisent planter will readily
comprehend the necessity of using nothing but the highest grade of Ferti
lizers, .lid of at i icily avoiding tho.-e whose va'ne has ! ecu. reduced by adul
